Bringing authentic boutique Primošten heritage experiences for travellers who want more than just a standard tourist tour. An unforgettable discovery of Primošten through stories about stone, olive and wine. Let yourself be guided by Ana, your local expert and guide. Slow down, feel and understand the Dalmatian way of life, an experience you won’t forget, bringing home a memory that doesn’t fade.
Once upon a time when life had its slow, calm and different way of existing than today’s, people of Primošten and all Dalmatia found their peace in their vineyards and olive groves. Alongside the olive tree and the vine, stone shaped the landscape. Surrounded by it from birth to death, people learned to work with it, adapting it to their needs and developing the remarkable skill of cultivating vines and olive trees among bare rocks.
Their determination to produce wine and olive oil from this harsh and unforgiving land is truly admirable. Behind it lie real stories of generations of Primošten families who sacrificed much to provide for themselves and their loved ones.
Today, these landscapes offer paths to deeper meaning.
Allow yourself the luxury of a slow and peaceful journey into the past with Krosna Experience. Discover the cultural heritage and history of Primošten through a boutique experience that will help you better understand the soul of Dalmatia.
These experiences are more than a tour. They are a journey into roots, identity and living heritage. Through family stories, dry stone walls, vineyards, olive groves, local traditions and authentic encounters, I invite you to discover Dalmatia through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
Experiences
Two intimate experiences for guests who want to discover Primošten from within — through local stories, landscape, stone, olives and wine.
Stone, Olive & Wine
As candles flicker on the table in our family olive grove, surrounded by dry stone walls, I will pour you a glass of Babić wine grown in the Bucavac vineyard. My father and I harvested the grapes and made this wine together last year, just as he once did with his father.
Built by the people of Primošten in the late 1940s without machinery, using only the dry stone technique and the strength of their hands, the Bucavac vineyard is a protected cultural asset of Croatia and is included on UNESCO’s Tentative List. For its uniqueness it tells a story about stone, sun and the sea. Babić is authentic and timeless. Immerse yourself in Primošten’s stone, olive and wine traditions!

Why is stone so important for wine and olives? How did Primošten develop? How did an average Primošten family live in the 20th century? Who created the Bucavac vineyard? Why is Primošten’s Babić wine so well known? The experience includes a short drive to the Bucavac vineyard, followed by a visit to an original family olive grove and a relaxed gathering with a surprise gift.
Dry Stone Workshop
A famous Croatian proverb says:“Stone by stone, a palace is built.” In your case, stone by stone, it’s a wall built in an authentic local family olive grove. A dry stone building technique protected by UNESCO is taught by Ana, leader of national and international dry stone wall workshops, and built by you. It’s a unique heritage experience with a bit of theory, some practice and a lot of fun.
Be a Dalmatian stone master for a day!

Set in an authentic family-owned olive grove surrounded by traditional dry stone walls, the workshop begins with a short introduction to the importance of stone in Dalmatian heritage, the UNESCO protection of dry-stone walling, and the basic principles of dry-stone construction. After the introduction, participants will have the opportunity to learn by doing and build with stone themselves under Ana’s guidance.
For this workshop, please wear sturdy shoes and bring a cap or hat, sunglasses, and plenty of positive energy.
Babić born from stone,
sun and sea.
Authentic and timeless. Babić tells a story of stone, sun and sea. Born from karst and the exceptional Bucavac vineyard, woven from dry stone walls and vines.
Local guide, heritage enthusiast and storyteller.
Born and raised in Primošten, I am a local guide, Croatian language teacher, heritage enthusiast, and dry stone wall workshop leader passionate about preserving the traditions of Dalmatia.
I come from a family that has cultivated vineyards and olive groves for four generations, producing Babić wine and olive oil on the unique Dalmatian karst landscape. Growing up surrounded by stories of hard work, resilience, and pride in our land inspired me to share this heritage with others.
Through my education, professional experience, and active involvement in cultural heritage preservation, I offer more than a tour—I offer an authentic connection to the people, traditions, and stories that shape this region.
Experience Dalmatia through local eyes, discover the value of its living heritage, and create memories so that our heritage becomes more than a postcard or a memory frozen in time. Join me to experience the true spirit of Primošten—its vineyards, dry stone walls, traditions, and stories passed down through generations.
